I tried compiling speakup modules on vibuntu 1.2 with
apt-get update
apt-get install speakup-source
which brought in all kinds of stuff,
then module-assistant prepare and then
module-assistant -t auto-install speakup.
The -t is for text mode so it won't go to the GUI in module-assistant.
All went well till line 492 of main.c. Wondering if anyone else has gotten
this to work? The file main.c had date in May 2008 so was wondering if
there was a later speakup-source. Can anyone help this poor old windows user
out?

You need to pull the latest Speakup source from git, change to the src
directory under where you created the git pull and run:
make modules
make modules_install
It's still necessary to at least have build-essential and
module-assistant to make sure you pull in all needed dependencies such
as the full gcc, kernel headers, etc. You could also try ftp to a
Debian mirror and getting the latest unstable Speakup source .deb
package and installing it manually. That should still work with m-a,
but sometimes I've noticed that m-a wants to download the source
anyway. Note that none of this is for Ubuntu and hasn't been tested on
anything but Debian Lenny and unstable.
